HS
Senior Cyber Cons at MDS
Improves threat investigation speed and reduces cyber risks but requires a more comprehensive use case library
In general, if something needs to be improved in the algorithm, it would be the dashboards. The dashboards with solutions such as Splunk are very neat and clean. I would also like to improve the use cases LogRhythm has. It does not have a very large use case library, so the content engineer needs to develop use cases rapidly alongside emerging threats.
SK
Enterprise Architect at Wipro Limited
Offers intuitive deployment with strong customer support and advanced analytics features
There are improvements that could be made to Splunk User Behavior Analytics as any product will have advantages and disadvantages. Scalability is one consideration. For example, the advantages include rapid auto scaling to meet demand. A disadvantage is that it can lead to cost overrun if not properly factored or governed. The speed of deployment offers faster provisioning as an advantage, but it can require substantial automation skills and infrastructure as code expertise, which can be challenging. Cloud provides major operational benefits such as agility, automation, resilience, and global access when setting up on Cloud. However, it introduces challenges such as cost control, complexity, and vendor dependency. For example, global reach allows deployment of apps and services closer to users worldwide, but data sovereignty concerns exist and region selection must align with compliance requirements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I typically use the product for reducing cyber risk, and I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] has positively impacted our organization by improving our ability to detect insider threats and compromised accounts earlier, resulting in better security visibility, reduced false positives, and faster investigations and response times, which helped the team operate more effectively with greater confidence."
"The solution's most valuable features are the graphical user interface and the reporting."
"The most valuable features are file activity monitoring and registry activity monitoring."
"The solution is useful for privilege accounts and super admin accounts. It is beneficial from a security perspective. The tool uses machine learning rather than threshold-based alerts. For instance, it can detect unusual user logins, such as a user logging in from a new browser or location."
"It has a lot of features. It has file integration monitoring."
"The tool's most valuable feature is server threat hunting."
"I can investigate attacks more quickly using machine learning tools."
"Splunk is more user-friendly than some competing solutions we tried."
"It is a solution that helps test and measure customer satisfaction."
"The dashboards are one of the very core functions of Splunk User Behavior Analytics; they are very good in dashboarding, and the dashboards themselves are nice, very good, and very helpful."
"Splunk's technical support is amazing."
"The solution is definitely scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to search through a large amount of data."
"The product is at the forefront of auto-remediation networking. It's great."
"The solution is fast, flexible, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The search feature needs to be improved."
"It would be helpful if there were more guidance provided for integrating with unsupported devices."
"The UI could be improved a little bit."
"LogRhythm UEBA [EOL] could be improved with more flexible tuning options and clearer model transparency to better understand why certain behaviors are flagged; enhanced integrations with additional data sources and more intuitive dashboards would also help improve usability and investigation efficiency."
"The cloud version is lacking and not up to par."
"The on-premises LogRhythm is not very scalable. When considering packets per second or the MPS needed for additional logs such as web application logs, scalability is usually found in cloud products."
"The product should improve its dashboards. Splunk has neat dashboards. Additionally, we would like to enhance the use cases provided by LogRhythm as its use case library is not as extensive as other tools. Its machine-learning capabilities need to improve when compared to other solutions. It lacks risk quantification in a single, transparent view for individuals such as CSOs."
"It should have better mitigation with other solutions and be tightly integrated with other solutions. It has to be improved."
"The solution is much more expensive than relative competitors like ArcSight or LogRhythm. It makes it hard to sell to customers sometimes."
"The correlation engine should have persistent and definable rules."
"The price of Splunk UBA is too high."
"I would like to see an enhancement in the automation of creating the rules."
"It would be good if the solution had an analytics tool that allowed us to analyze the data without writing specific queries."
"It could be easier to scale the solution if you are using it on-premise, not in the cloud."
"In the future I would like to see simplified statistics and analytical threats."
"Enhancing the storage model that they are using is necessary."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As LogRhythm UEBA is pretty expensive, I'd give its pricing a seven out of ten."
"LogRhythm UEBA's pricing is affordable for small and medium businesses."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis. It's not expensive compared to its competitors."
"The pricing is nice when compared to other products in the industry."
"It is quite a budget-friendly product."
"I rate the product's pricing a three out of ten. However, the cloud version is expensive. You need to hire professional services for deployment and migrations, which can be expensive."
"The licensing costs is around 10,000 dollars."
"I am not aware of the price, but it is expensive."
"I hope we can increase the free license to be more than 5 gig a day. This would help people who want to introduce a POC or a demo license for the solution."
"There are additional costs associated with the integrator."
"Pricing varies based on the packages you choose and the volume of your usage."
"My biggest complaint is the way they do pricing... You can never know the pricing for next year. Every single time you adjust to something new, the price goes up. It's impossible to truly budget for it. It goes up constantly."
